One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame
through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his
education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of
Anglo -Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University.
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in
intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien’s responsibilities as a professor and the
outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological
phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also
its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil
kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which
3


are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans
populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves,
monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled

after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe.
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the
trilogy with Tolkien’s real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the
connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of
his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language.

body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today

-> When given a watch by my mother, 1 felt very happy, (nếu là liên từ when thì có thể bỏ "to be")
-> Given a watch by my mother, 1 felt very happy, (bỏ liên từ)
Do vậy:
